Child Dies On An Abbott Immigrant Bus

 

A three year old immigrant child that had been placed on a bus bound for Chicago by twisted and sadistic Gov. Greg Abbott (MAGA-TX) has died on the way. As part of his deadly anti-immigrant, white supremacist performance act, Abbott has been putting immigrants on buses for cities that are run by Democrats, mainly New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles to show how despicably tough he is on families seeking a better life in the U.S. From the Associated Press' account:

"A 3-year-old child riding one of Texas’ migrant buses died while on the way to Chicago, officials said Friday, the first time the state has announced a death since it began shuttling thousands of migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border last year.

Texas authorities confirmed a child’s death in a statement Friday but did not say where the child was from or why they became ill. The Illinois Department of Public Health said the child was 3 years old and died Thursday in Marion County, in the southern part of that state. [snip]

Texas has bused more than 30,000 migrants to Democratic-controlled cities across the U.S. since last year as part of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s sprawling mission on the border, called Operation Lone Star. The operation has come under a burst of new scrutiny in recent months over additional hard-line measures the governor has authorized in the name of deterring migrants from crossing from Mexico."  (our emphasis)

Abbott recently placed large orange buoys topped with razor wire in parts of the Rio Grande River to discourage families from crossing shallow parts of the river. The injuries suffered by border crossers was revealed by a Texas trooper, who saw people bloodied and reported that they were refused water in the summer heat. The Biden Administration has sued Texas for placing the buoys on an international boundary that injures people trying to cross. Meanwhile, Abbott will undoubtedly continue loading immigrants on buses leaving Texas, proving that there's no piece of excrement lower than he is.
